As we mentioned before, during a taping of Diddy'sMaking the Band back in 2008, Kevin Faraday claims he was in the crowd at NYC's Hammerstein Ballroom…and he was hit in the abdomen by a guy with a mic.

As a result, Kevin filed a lawsuit against Diddy, MTV, Live Nation, and MANY others!

We wish the Weinsteins would give us the chance to dance our cares away once again!

We were SO excited to report that a Fraggle Rock live-action musical movie was on the way…back in 2008!

Now, several years later, Fraggle Rock: The Movie director Cory Edwards is ready to move forward, but the Weinstein Company has been totally ignoring him!

Here's what Edwards had to say about it on his blog:

Many, many, many of you have repeatedly asked for some kind of update on the Fraggle Rock movie. The truth is, I got nothin’. There’s nothing to report except that The Weinstein Company has everything they need to move forward, and the ball is in their court. They’ve talked about getting a new writer, which I’m willing to do. They’ve talked about starting over from scratch, which I’m willing to do. But I have not heard a peep from their camp in almost a year.

I completely sympathize with all of you that are waiting for a movie, but let’s all remember that the next best thing to making a Fraggle movie is avoiding making a BAD ONE. So at least we’re doing that. Until something new happens to awaken the project from its deep coma, we can at least enjoy the untainted TV series on DVD and The Hub Network. As for me, I’m already working on new things. I hope you’ll stick around and check in here… I’ll be announcing my next project very, very soon.

Obviously the Weinsteins are going to do whatever they want to do, but in our opinion, we'd say they should give this delightful franchise a little bit of time, and maybe let Nintendo, Sony, and Microsoft deal with video games….

Earlier this month, we were excited to learn that Tina FeyJulianne Moore had signed on to play Sarah Palin in HBO Films' upcoming adaptation of the best selling book Game Change by John Heilemann and Mark Halperin.

Earlier this week police recovered nearly $20 million worth of Harry Winston jewelry that was stolen from the Paris boutique in December of 2008.

Investigators found the pricey baubles hidden in a drainpipe at the home of Daoudi Yahiaoui, who is believed to be the brainchild behind the $100 million robbery.

The loot found inside a plastic container and concrete mold included 19 rings valued between $1.6 million and $8.4 million and 3 earrings.

Sneaky, sneaky Mr. Robber.

After hearing the fantastic news, Harry Winston issued a statement saying they are "very grateful to the French police for the continued dedication to this matter, and will continue to cooperate with the authorities in their ongoing investigation."
